The goofily irreverent physics-based puzzle game What The Golf? is set to bring its ridiculous reinvention of golf to PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5. Developer Triband announced the hit title will launch on PS4 and PS5 on March 14th, extending its reach beyond existing platforms.
Initially released on Apple Arcade in 2019, What The Golf? quickly garnered attention and acclaim for its witty approach to sports gaming. Each level presents golf-tinged challenges with a heavy dose of absurdity and humor. From hitting houses instead of balls to navigating side-scrolling platform levels, it consistently upends expectations.
This anything-goes mentality coupled with polished intuitive gameplay made What The Golf? a word-of-mouth indie hit. It has since expanded to Nintendo Switch, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, and now prepares to swing onto PlayStation. More single-player content and multiplayer party modes were added over time to complement the solid base experience.
Subverting Expectations with Goofy Golf Gameplay
Triband’s follow-up title What the Bat? brought a similar comedic physics-based formula into VR with Bat Sports instead of Golf. Both titles showcase the Copenhagen-based studio’s flare for entertainment through unexpected gameplay subversions.
PlayStation owners can look forward to tee times filled with delightful surprises when What The Golf? lands in March. A sporting game where the developers openly admit knowing nothing about the sport may seem counterintuitive, but that irreverent attitude is exactly why What The Golf? scores a hole-in-one as a must-play comedy game.
